Sustainability + Our Industry
There are many reasons why someone chooses to work in the hospitality industry. What is it we love about it so much? Is it the passion for it? Is it the endorphin rush in service? Is it that serotonin boost you get seeing happy customers? Is it because you can’t see yourself sitting at a desk?… this list could go on forever.
While there’s lots of enjoyment working in the industry, what is loved so much about it could overtime wear someone out. High staff turnover, long shifts, difficult guests, unsociable hours, wear and tear on the body, unhealthy eating habits, we have all been affected by these stressors one way or another. A survey conducted with 700 hospitality workers in North America stated that 86% of those workers were experiencing burnout.
So the question is how do we cope with these stressors in a healthy way to continue working in an industry we are passionate about?
Why is it so important?
Maintaining ones health + wellness is important to living a higher quality life inside and outside of work. Why is it important? Everything we do relates to our well-being. Incorporating health + wellness can help subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness, ensure positive interactions, and sustainably work an industry we are passionate about.

What people are saying:
I found this to be exceptionally helpful with all the stresses I have been encountering as a new manager to a thriving restaurant. You created a safe and accessible environment that not only made it easy to share, but made the participants keen to do so. I was more than impressed with the organization and your ability to make people feel at ease when discussing issues they may not have felt open to discuss previously. This workshop is a necessity for any owner/management group looking to aid in the overall social structure of their restaurant and the employees that work within it. Can't thank you enough!
- Dylan T.
A comprehensive and engaging overview of nutrition, exercise, and stress management concerning hospitality workers. Sonia has great energy and takes a genuine interest in the attending group, making them feel at ease and open to express answers to questions posed in the accompanying workbook. The energy tracker at the end of the seminar use to track your seven day cycle is very useful and prompts introspection on how small things on a daily basis affect your mood and energy. The Health in Hospitality workshop is a great seminar for both the well-informed and the layman. There is actionable knowledge for both.

Sonia Mondino
In 2016, at the age of 24, I opened my first restaurant, Pray Tell. My passion for food soared, but my mental and physical health did not. Working endless hours, I realized the importance of health + wellness in my daily life.
Once I gradually started making changes to my lifestyle, my life truly changed for the better. Mentally, physically, at home, at work... overall.
It's very easy to "push past" those feelings of stress, exhaustion, unhealthy eating/ extracurricular habits, lack of sleep but really is it sustainable?
Fast forward to 14+ years in the hospitality industry, I have shifted gears into helping people thrive holistically. Combining my love for the hospitality industry + health and wellness, I am passionate about building a stronger connection towards health + wellness within the Hospitality Industry.
